"Generation Z has a more positive view of the word "socialism" than previous generations, and — along with millennials — are more likely to embrace socialistic policies and principles than past generations, according to a new Harris Poll given exclusively to Axios." https://www.axios.com/exclusive-poll-young-americans-embracing-socialism-b051907a-87a8-4f61-9e6e-0db75f7edc4a.html
Pro points to the rising support of socialism in America. While also stating how when old people die out, we'll be left with socialism in the form that Denmark/Norway have adopted because young people are socialist.
Con frankly never properly addresses this well enough in R1/R2, but in R3 he evened out the debate argument strength undeniably. He points out how in order for socialism to gain a foothold in America, America would have to shift it's cultural, religious, and political structures to accommodate it.
So arguments are tied because Pro brings up a valid point about shifting views and how the future/youths look quite socialist. When Con tries to address this he merely states it's a cycle with no citation or substantiation. But, Pro has an unaddressed point about how hard it would be for America to accommodate socialism, this leaves me with 1 valid argument each with both being equally important. As a result, arguments are tied.
S and G=Tie
Sources=Tie
Conduct=Con: Pro forfeited R3
So we have a 7-6 win for Con.
